“Evolution of Smooth” (EOS) lip balm is supposed to keep your lips from cracking and bleeding, but that’s exactly what happened to one woman who filed a class action lawsuit on Jan. 12 against the company.
Rachel Cronin reportedly claims that when she reapplied EOS’ “Summer Fruit” balm, her lips cracked, bled and blistered and were “anything but smooth.”
The egg-shaped lip balms are touted by celebrities such as Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian and come in a variety of colors.

Chocolate producer Hershey’s announced a little good news last week. The popular candy provider behind Hershey’s Kisses will remove fake vanilla (“vanillin”) from its kisses and chocolate bars and replace it with real vanilla. The people’s collective voice is being heard.
